Monitor resolution, opinions on new monitor/tv
Recently built a desktop that uses a HD6870 card; a friend donated an old Aquos tv/monitor. Highest resolution available seems to be very low, 1366 x 768 - looks like a laptop resolution? Using the VGA adaptor connection btw.
Also got a PS3 hooked up; currently I use the component cables since the HDMI on that old tv/monitor is apparently from an older version of the standard (I get a "signal not compatible" message if I use the PS3's HDMI output).
As I suspect it's the hardware that's obsolete, I plan to get a new display. I'm interested in the following monitor: Samsung T23A350 23-Inch Class LED HDTV/Monitor - mainly because it says it's also tv/monitor, and I saw both HDMI and Full HD logos on the shop's display unit. I assume this means that display should be able to accommodate higher resolutions as well as allow my PS3 to be connected via HDMI rather than component cables.
Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this particular model. Also wondering whether my resolution options are limited because of the driver, or maybe because I'm using the VGA connector instead of the HDMI one.
